by Jan Vasil
Polish Kasza Manna Recipe

Welcome to our culinary journey where we explore the comforting and traditional flavors of Poland through the beloved Kasza Manna.

This semolina porridge is a staple in Polish households, offering a warm, creamy, and versatile dish that’s perfect for breakfast or a comforting snack.

Best Kasza Manna combinations.

  • Fruit Toppings: Fresh berries, banana slices, or stewed fruit pair wonderfully.
  • Nutty Crunch: Add toasted almonds, walnuts, or pecans for texture.
  • Creamy Elements: A dollop of yogurt or a swirl of cream can enrich the dish.

My 5 Tips on Making the Best Polish Kasza Manna:

  1. Quality of Semolina: Opt for fine, high-quality semolina for a smoother texture.
  2. Stirring Technique: Constant stirring is key to prevent lumps and achieve a creamy consistency.
  3. Milk Matters: Use full-fat milk for a richer taste, but you can substitute with almond or soy milk for a vegan option.
  4. Flavor Enhancements: Experiment with vanilla, cinnamon, or a touch of honey for added depth.
  5. Consistency Control: Adjust the milk-to-semolina ratio to your preference for a thicker or runnier porridge.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup 1 fine semolina

  • 4 cups 4 full-fat milk (or plant-based alternative)

  • 2 tablespoons 2 sugar (optional)

  • Pinch salt

  • 1 teaspoon 1 vanilla extract (optional)

  • Ground cinnamon for garnish (optional)

Directions

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling.
  • Gradually whisk in the semolina, ensuring there are no lumps.
  • Add a pinch of salt and sugar, if using. Continue stirring constantly.
  • Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, if using.
  • Serve warm, garnished with cinnamon or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Watch the Heat: Too high heat can cause the milk to burn and the semolina to cook unevenly.
  • Consistency Adjustments: If the porridge is too thick, add a little more milk; if too runny, cook a bit longer.
  • Sweetening: Adjust sugar to taste, or use natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.
